Abstract
Biotin-dendrimer conjugates (such as biotin-PAMAMs-NH2) are important macromolecules in the field of host-guest chemistry and widely used systems for delivery. The similar chemical structures of the inner and outer layers of PAMAM-NH2 make it difficult to illuminate the interaction and the binding affinity of biotin-PAMAMs-NH2. By utilizing NMR techniques including 1H NMR titration, CSSF-TOCSY, STDD methods, and 2D DOSY analysis, we demonstrate a method to sort out these interactions. The methylene protons of the inner and outer layers of PAMAM-NH2 are successfully identified and accurately positioned so that the carboxylic acid groups of biotins are having ionic interactions with the outermost amine groups of PAMAM-NH2. The inner PAMAM-NH2 is protonated when reaching the isoelectric point of PAMAM-NH2, increasing the hydrodynamic radius. On the basis of the NMR experiments, a model is proposed, where the carboxylic acid groups and heterocyclic skeleton of biotin arched over the outer layers of PAMAM-NH2 like a bridge. Furthermore, using STDD epitope mapping, the binding affinity between biotin and PAMAM-NH2 was quantified. The diffusion behavior of biotin-G5 PAMAM-NH2 complex is more complicated than that of biotin-G3 PAMAM-NH2 complex due to steric hindrance. The results provide a theoretical basis for understanding these complicated drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Poly(amidoamine) and Poly(propylenimine) dendrimers with different generations and peripheral groups were studied as solubility enhancers and nanocarriers for 7-bromo-2-hydroxy-phenazine N5,N10-dioxide. This compound possesses potential antitumoral and anti-trypanosomal activity, but its low solubility in physiological media precludes its possible application as therapeutic drug. The amino terminated dendrimers association with the active compounds as observed trough NMR studies showed that electrostatic interactions are essential in the solubilization enhancement process. The obtaining of a stable and no cytotoxic formulation makes the drug-carried association a suitable strategy for the generation of a drug delivery system for phenazine derivatives.

Abstract
Dendrimers are well-defined, highly branched, synthetic three-dimensional molecules with a large number of reactive end groups. PAMAM dendrimers form stable complexes with DNA chemistries and constitute an important class of nonviral, cationic vectors in gene delivery. The aim of this study is to examine the interactions of a 12 bp DNA oligonucletide with PAMAM-G2 and mPEG- b-PAMAM-G3 having eight surface amine groups under physiological conditions, using constant DNA concentration but varying dendrimer concentration. 1D 31P NMR, 2D NOESY, and CD spectroscopic methods were employed to investigate the interactions between the dendrimer and the DNA. The CD experiments carried out with a constant DNA concentration of 25 μM and dendrimer concentrations from 0 to 100 μM indicated minimal change to the chirality of the DNA for both types of dendrimers. While the PAMAM-G2 dendrimer caused aggregation of the majority of the DNA, the 2D NMR data of the DNA with an mPEG- b-PAMAM-G3 dendrimer indicated general broadening of the 1D 31P peaks from the DNA phosphates, a small number of 1H chemical shift perturbations (CSPs), and reduction of specific 1H-1H NOE intensities. These data suggest there is minimal structural alteration of the DNA in the complex and indicate preferential binding of the dendrimer to the central AATT region of the DNA sequence. The results herein are the first such results demonstrating a soluble DNA complex with the mPEG- b-PAMAM-G3 dendrimer analyzed by multidimensional NMR.

Abstract
Type III-B rotaxane dendrimers (T3B-RDs) are hyperbranched macromolecules with mechanical bonds on every branching unit. Here we demonstrate the design, synthesis, and characterization of first to third (G1–G3), and up to the fourth (G4) generation (MW > 22,000 Da) of pure organic T3B-RDs and dendrons through the copper-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. By utilizing multiple molecular shuttling of the mechanical bonds within the sphere-like macromolecule, a collective three-dimensional contract-extend molecular motion is demonstrated by diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The discrete T3B-RDs are further observed and characterized by AFM, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and mass spectrometry (MS). The binding of chlorambucil and pH-triggered switching of the T3B-RDs are also characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The complexity of rotaxane dendrimers poses a great synthetic challenge and the synthesis of higher generation rotaxane dendrimers has therefore rarely been reported. Here the authors report the synthesis of acid-base switchable rotaxane dendrimers up to generation 4 and demonstrate the uptake and release of guest molecules.

Abstract
Molecular recognitions, causing supramolecular complex formation between a hyperbranched polymer molecule (polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer generation 3) with oppositely charged surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solution, were studied by using various spectroscopic techniques and calorimetric titration of heat change measurements. Spectroscopic measurements were performed using dynamic Stokes shift (DSS), rotational anisotropy decay, and translational diffusion of a fluorescent probe molecule coumarin 153 (C153) noncovalently attached to the dendrimer-surfactant complex. All these studies unanimously confirm that the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of SDS falls to ∼0.8 mM (from its critical micelle concentration (CMC) ∼ 8 mM) in the presence of ∼0.2 mM dendrimer. Further studies of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurement show that the CAC of SDS in the presence of dendrimer remains invariant to the dendrimer concentration. Complexation reaction between SDS and dendrimer is highly exothermic in nature. A maximum heat release (ΔH∼ -6.6 kJ/mol of SDS binding) was observed at a SDS-to-dendrimer mole ratio of ∼3-5; where up to 3 to 5 SDS molecules were encapsulated by one dendrimer molecule to form dendrimer-SDS encapsulation complex. When negatively charged SDS was replaced with a positively charged surfactant dodecyl-trimethylammonium-bromide (DTAB), we found that the DTAB hardly interacted with positively charged dendrimer due to the charge-charge repulsions.

Abstract
The protonation behaviour of polycationic compounds has direct relevance to their ability to condense and deliver nucleic acids. This report pertains to a study of the protonation behaviour of polycationic poly(propyl ether imine) (PETIM) dendritic gene delivery vectors that are constituted with tertiary amine core moiety and branch sites, n-propyl ether linkages, and primary amine peripheries. The ability of this series of dendrimers to condense nucleic acids and mediate endosomal escape was studied by unravelling the protonation behaviour of the dendrimers aided by pH metric titrations and 1H and 15N NMR spectroscopies. The results demonstrate protonation of the primary and tertiary amines of outermost-to-core shells occurring in a successive stepwise fashion, in contrast to other polycationic vectors. Theoretical calculations based on the Ising model rationalize further the finer details of protonation at each shell. The protonation pattern correlates with the endosomal buffering and nucleic acid condensation properties of this PETIM-based dendritic gene delivery vectors. The study establishes that the protonation behaviour is a critical and essential parameter to assess the gene condensation and delivery vector properties of a polycationic compound.

Abstract
Systematic explorations on the structure-activity relationship of surface-engineered dendrimers are essential to design high efficient and safe gene vectors. The chemical diversity of residues in naturally occurring amino acids allows us to generate a library of dendrimers with various surface properties. Here, we synthesized a total number of 40 dendrimers engineered with the twenty common amino acids and investigated their performances in gene delivery. The results show that gene transfection efficacy of the synthesized materials depends on both the type of amino acid and the conjugation ratio. Dendrimers engineered with cationic and hydrophobic amino acids possess relatively higher transfection efficacies. Engineering dendrimers with cationic amino acids such as arginine and lysine facilitates polyplex formation and cellular uptake, with histidine improves endosomal escape of the polyplexes, and with hydrophobic amino acids such as tyrosine and phenylalanine modulates the balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity on dendrimer surface, which is beneficial for efficient cellular internalization. Dendrimers engineered with anionic or hydrophilic amino acids show limited transfection efficacy due to poor DNA binding capacity and/or limited cellular uptake. In the aspect of cytotoxicity, dendrimers engineered with arginine, lysine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan show much higher cytotoxicity than other engineered dendrimers. These results are helpful for us to tailor the surface chemistry of dendrimers for efficient gene delivery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Cationic polymers such as dendrimers were widely used as gene vectors but are limited by relatively low delivery efficacy and high toxicity. To achieve efficient and low toxic gene delivery, the polymers were modified with various ligands. However, these ligand-modified polymers in gene delivery are reported by independent researchers using different polymer scaffolds and cell lines. It is hard to provide structure-function information of these materials based on current knowledge and experience, which are essential for the design of ideal polymeric vectors for gene delivery. Here, we prepared a small library of amino acid-modified dendrimers, which is used as a screening pool to discover efficient gene vectors. The results obtained from this study, especially the structure-activity relationship of the screened materials are helpful for us to further design efficient and biocompatible polymers for gene delivery. This manuscript will appeal to a wide readership such as nanomaterial chemist, dendrimer chemist, biological chemist, pharmaceutical scientist, and biomedical researchers.

Abstract
Interactions between electromagnetic radiation and the side substituents of aromatic amino acids are widely used in the biochemical studies on proteins and their interactions with ligand molecules. That is why the aim of our study was to characterize the formation of complexes between PAMAM-NH2 G4 dendrimer and L-α-tryptophan and L-α-tyrosine in water. The number of L-α-tryptophan and L-α-tyrosine molecules attached to the macromolecule of PAMAM-NH2 G4 dendrimer and the formation constants of the supramolecular complexes formed have been determined. The macromolecule of PAMAM-NH2 G4 can reversibly attach about 25 L-α-tryptophan molecules with equilibrium constant K equal to 130±30 and 24±6 L-α-tyrosine molecules. This characterization was deduced on the basis of the solubility measurements of the amino acids in aqueous dendrimer solutions, the (1)H NMR and 2D-NOESY measurements of the dendrimer solutions with the amino acids, the equilibrium dialysis and the circular dichroism measurements of the dendrimer aqueous solutions with L-α-tryptophan. Our date confirmed the interactions of L-α-tryptophan and L-α-tyrosine with the dendrimer in aqueous solution and indicated a reversible character of the formed complexes.

Abstract
In this article, we reviewed the interactions between dendrimers and surfactants with particular focus on the interaction mechanisms and physicochemical properties of the yielding dendrimer-surfactant aggregates. In order to provide insight into the behavior of dendrimers in biological systems, the interactions of dendrimers with bio-surfactants such as phospholipids in bulk solutions, in solid-supported bilayers and at the interface of phases or solid-states were discussed. Applications of the dendrimer-surfactant aggregates as templates to guide the synthesis of nanoparticles and in drug or gene delivery were also mentioned.

Abstract
Nanoparticle based drug delivery systems are gaining popularity due to their wide spectrum advantages over traditional drug delivery systems; among them, dendrimeric nano-vectors are the most widely explored carriers for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The precise mechanism of encapsulation of drug molecules inside the dendritic matrix, delivery of drugs into specific cells, interactions of nano-formulation with biological targets and proteins, etc. present a substantial challenge to the scientific understanding of the subject. Computational methods complement experimental techniques in the design and optimization of drug delivery systems, thus minimizing the investment in drug design and development. Significant progress in computer simulations could facilitate an understanding of the precise mechanism of encapsulation of bioactive molecules and their delivery. This review summarizes the pharmacoinformatic studies spanning from quantum chemical calculations to coarse-grained simulations, aimed at providing better insight into dendrimer-drug interactions and the physicochemical parameters influencing the binding and release mechanism of drugs.

Abstract
The ability of dendrimers to bind to various target molecules through non-covalent interactions was used to capture water soluble organic reagents, such as tartaric acid (TA), from different matrices, i.e. aqueous solutions and wine samples. The influence of the pH, dendrimer type, generation and feeding concentration on the host-guest complexation of TA was investigated. The maximum binding capacity of TA in aqueous solutions was achieved by amine end-capped dendrimers at pH 5. At extreme pH values of 2 and 11, the binding of TA dropped strikingly, demonstrating the pH-dependency underlying the host-guest interactions. The linear correlation between the maximum binding capacity of TA at pH 5 and the number of primary amine groups on the surface of PAMAM and PPI dendrimers strongly indicated that host-guest complex formation between TA and dendrimers is largely dependent on electrostatic interactions. Molecular simulations confirmed the predominant electrostatic nature of the interactions between TA and the amine end-capped dendrimers and also provided important information on the spatial distribution of TA within the PAMAM G5 dendrimer. All these results designate dendrimers as potential nano-capturing systems for the removal/recovery of TA from complex matrices such as wine, industrial waste or fruit juices.

Abstract
The complexation of oxacillin to three generations of 1-(4-carbomethoxypyrrolidone)-terminated PAMAM dendrimers was studied with NMR in CD3OD and CDCl3. The stochiometries, which were determined from Job plots, were found to be both solvent- and generation-dependent. The dissociation constants (K(d)) and Gibbs energies for complexation of oxacillin into the 1-(4-carbomethoxypyrrolidone)-terminated PAMAM dendrimer hosts were determined by (1)H NMR titrations and showed weaker binding of oxacillin upon increasing the size (generation) of the dendrimer.

Abstract
In this study, the host-guest behavior of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers bearing amine, hydroxyl, or carboxylate surface functionalities were investigated by paramagnetic NMR studies. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyloxy (TEMPO) derivatives were used as paramagnetic guest molecules. The results showed that TEMPO-COOH significantly broaden the 1H NMR peaks of amine- and hydroxyl-terminated PAMAM dendrimers. In comparison, no paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) was observed between TEMPO-NH2, TEMPO-OH and the three types of PAMAM dendrimers. The PRE phenomenon observed is correlated with the encapsulation of TEMPO-COOH within dendrimer pockets. Protonation of the tertiary amine groups within PAMAM dendrimers plays an important role during this process. Interestingly, the absence of TEMPO-COOH encapsulation within carboxylate-terminated PAMAM dendrimer is observed due to the repulsion of TEMPO-COO- anion and anionic dendrimer surface. The combination of paramagnetic probes and 1H NMR linewidth analysis can be used as a powerful tool in the analysis of dendrimer-based host-guest systems.

Abstract
It is a great challenge for nanomedicine to develop novel dendrimers with maximum therapeutic potential and minimum side-effects for drug and gene delivery. As delivery vectors, dendrimers must overcome lots of barriers before delivering the bio-agents to the target in the cell. Extensive experimental investigations have been carried out to elucidate the physical and chemical properties of dendrimers and explore their behaviors when interacting with biomolecules, such as gene materials, proteins, and lipid membranes. As a supplement of the experimental techniques, it has been proved that computer simulations could facilitate the progress in understanding the delivery process of bioactive molecules. The structures of dendrimers in dilute solutions have been intensively investigated by monomer-resolved simulations, coarse-grained simulations, and atom-resolved simulations. Atomistic simulations have manifested that the hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen-bond interactions, and electrostatic attraction play critical roles in the formation of dendrimer-drug complexes. Multiscale simulations and statistical field theories have uncovered some physical mechanisms involved in the dendrimer-based gene delivery systems. This review will focus on the current status and perspective of theoretical and computational contributions in this field in recent years. (275 references).

Abstract
Oximes are important in the treatment of organophosphate (OP) poisoning, but have limited biological half-lives. Complexing these drugs with a macromolecule, such as a dendrimer, could improve their pharmacokinetics. The present study investigates the intermolecular interactions that drive the complexation of oxime-based drug molecules with fifth generation poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. We performed steady-state binding studies of two molecules, pralidoxime and obidoxime, employing multiple NMR methods, including 1D titration, (1)H-(1)H 2D spectroscopy (COSY, NOESY), and (1)H diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY). Several important insights were gained in understanding the host-guest interactions occurring between the drug molecules and the polymer. First, the guest molecules bind to the dendrimer macromolecule through a specific interaction rather than through random, hydrophobic encapsulation. Second, this specificity is driven primarily by the electrostatic or H-bond interaction of the oxime at a dendrimer amine site. Also, the average strength for each drug and dendrimer interaction is affected by the surface modification of the polymer. Third, individual binding events between oximes and a dendrimer have a negative cooperative effect on subsequent oxime binding. In summary, this report provides a novel perspective important for designing host systems for drug delivery.
